Our readers will remem-ber than
it was Mr. Larsen who arrived in
the United States in December,
1939 with over 400 Norwegian
platinums. Very little was known
about them in this country although we were producing the Quebec type
o; platinum made popular by Dr
J, E. LlaForest of Quebec City. Mr.
Larsen made such an impression
in New York with his pelts and
secured so much publicity that the auction sale was an astounding success, I. J. Fox buying the high- est priced pelt for 511.000 and the entire collection averaging ove. $550. They had been brought into the United States on the assump- tion that they were not.dutial>le, not hcing silver fox,which is the only diitlable type oi raw fur coming into that country. Later the Ameri
can breeders disputed this and liti- ration has since continued in the courts of the U. S. A. until recent-
ll when a decision favorable to Mr.
‘Larsen was given. It has been ap-
pealed by the American fox breed-
ers association but the general hplfilOll is that it will lliold and
ii‘ so platinum foxes from any
rinllntfy will go in duty free to U.
s. A. just the same as cross fo\.
pcnrl platinums_ red foxes, white
fbxes, etc.
Mr..Larsen ls a man of forceful but pleasing personality and vcrv convincing and as we talked with him we fully agreed with the state- merit made by Premier J. Waiter Jones later, that it would pay this Province if we gave him $50,000 s year to publicize our silver fox.
During the few hours conversa- tion we had with the above gentle- man we learned the problems that have beset them during the occu- pation of the Nazis and since. Dur- ing the war years protein, that is horse meat and even whale mcat
was practically unobtainable and,
fish was the principal source of feed with a limited amount oi cer- eals plus l0 per cent of potatoes and about the same quantity of oatmeal made into porridge. We asked did not the fish tend to give vou off-color pelts arid Mr, La‘:- sen replied no, we did not use the oily varieties during the fall months when final preparations for the pelts were made. The war Elli"! us an opportunity to clean house and of course each breeder lvpt only the bes oi his herd. For that. reason I be ieve the liorvrcgiazis are producing better Dells llllill they have ever done before.
The introduction of a special W?“ of blue fox has been an advantage. These do not require as much Pm- tein and where fed it can be prac- tically all fish of some form. We inquired about the typo of skied! used and we were told that the compartments were much smaller than we use. mostly 4 i-2 by 3 l-l
I with wire bottoms. etc.. similar to
ours. Two foxes are kept in these small compartments and apparently
c they are sutficentiy large. We trrik

‘ e by 8. The larger room contains
about 05,000 lbs. of fox feeds and was at a temperature of i5 degrees
.Fahrenheit. The smaller room had
I’ as refrigeration just a blower mil
which keeps it at as degrees. 0n“ a week it is filled up from the large room thus obviating the ne- cessity of opening the door oi the
. former frequently. Both gentlemen
were much impressed with tn‘! cleanliness of the ranch_ the large number oi sheds, 24 x 100 feet long. and the feed house. equipment and other buildings and particu- larly remarked on the large sire
' oi the adult foxes and fox puns.
v with questions in an endeavor
On our return to our office we hlicd Messrs. Owren and Larsen to
learn as much as poclible about
3 the international outlook for sli- » W!‘ fox and allied furs. Mr. Lar- 1 sen said he found Ed Fromm,
» ‘President
- ~¢ -vriv-fl ~._._-..__ _
oi Fromms sffifll ranches, willing to collaborate with other fox ranchers in Canada, Nor- ‘Wis’ and elsewhere. Mr. Fromm has the same problems as the rest "f us. said Mr. Larsen. namely, that the cost of production is almost 5C percent higher than the price:- realizable on the present markets. Ml‘. Fromm said we must endea- vor to" cut the cost of the feed used in producing a. pelt from the present $18 or {l9 down to $10 and other expenses must be lo-v- cred in proportion.
Mr. Larsen asked how can this be done and Mr. Fromm explain- ed that they are conducting experi- ments with soy beans and other protein vegetable materials that he believed would eventually con- stitute a food ‘having ll the rs- ‘lulrements that horse meat and present foods have. Horse mast is Belting scarcel- every month and if "l9 present rats of slaughter con- tinues. said Mr. Larsen, its prices gill be mucl-i higher than it is to-

Finland because of its heavy repg.

The rest oi the European countries are not factors in pro- duction so it is the United States. Canada and Norway that produce the great bulk of the silver mutation foxes today and will Pro- bably continue to do so.
Mr. Larsen was of the opinion that these countries should form an international union which would fix the number of exiportable pelts and prevent what happened in 1939. namely, the production of bc- tween two nnd three million silvc. fox pelts. Fortunately there was a. demand for silver fox pelts then and they could be sold. but it would be a calamity now or in the future as far as he could see if such a production would again take place.
We are heartily in accord with his suggestion oi an international union and we hope that the visit

History of the Bovyer Family A visitor recently supplied me
with a short history of the Bovyer family. I already knew that the
‘census of 1798 listed Stephen Bov-
of President Owren and Mr. Lar-,
sen to the various countries. not only the United States and Canada but to South America as well, may result on their return in negotia- tions being made which will give status to a union of some kind or close organization that will safe- guard the expansion oi fur farm-
ing. It is probable that the econ-_
omic factors will do the trick for a year or two. and we believe that opinion is shared by the others. but should there be in the course of time a considerable improvement in price then if the past is a cri- lPYlOn fox ranchers will be enlarg- ing and inevitably a tremendous production will be the result un- less regulations can be introducei tc prevent it.
While in New York recently Mr. Larsen entertained at luncheon a number oi manufacturers and ort- iinecl to them the reason why sil- ver fox, mutation fox and blue fox should be featured. He said the"; arb the most beautiful furs in the world and the most flattering a woman can wear and for that rea- son. you gentlemen should continue your interest in them. His talk made such an impression thaP l-.e sold 2.000 Norwegian blue fox pelts when it was over. Afterward; he secured permission to observe the buying haibits in one of New York's great fur emporiums. A lady came in and asked for a silver fox jacket. The salesman said "iliey are not in style. Madam". and showed her a mutation mink in- siead. Mr. Larsen stated this was repeated in many places, the idea being to switch the customer to higher priced garments. which of course are more profitable to the seller. A strong campaign of pub- licity with feature displays will have to be carried on continuously to make the ladies of Canada and the United states. in fact through- out the world, fox fur conscious.
' One of the pleasant features of their visit was the O. K. given the fox show building at the Exhibi- tion grounds. They asked many questions. took measurements and put their stamp of approval on it most heartily. It is certainly
rnlque and is Pfollflbll’ lllfi “Ylfil years later and fox show building in the world. fgfnflng there,

My informant, however, was able to go back much further. The Boy- ers, (as the name was then spelt) had been Hugenois in France from i598 to i685, but had emigrated to England in the latter year on ac- count of religious conflicts. lt was at this time. said my informant, that the letter "V" first appears in the name. and he thought that the fugitive Hugenots had inserted it as a kind of “camouflage," for the name Boyer is still found in France.
The evidence is that the Bovyers settled in Cheshire, not far from Bunibury, a district well known at that time for its weaving, etc. But here again the question of their religion arose. The Hugenots held to Calvinism in their belief, and objected (as did the "Pilgrim Fath- ers") to being taxed to support the State Church-as they called ‘i. To secure freedom of worship the Bovyers crossed the Atlantic tn- wards the close of the l7th cen- tury. . Though they had been obliged ‘for consciences sake" to leave Brit- ain, it is certain that the Bovyers still regarded that country with affection. They (with hundreds of others) did not join the army of the colonials when
'the American Revolution begin.
and when that Revolution was successful. they were made to pay the penalty of their neutrality.
My visitor had to take luvs now as his friends were to make an- other call: whence it happened that his historical sketch does not go beyond the year i798. That leaves a gap of s century and s half in this family history; and I hope that my visitor, or others in- terested, may furnish further par- ticulars. l myself was privileged to know the late Mr. Frank Bovyer, a descendant of John Bovyer who settled in Lot 4-8. I was a stranger in the land in those days and l fully appreciated Mr. Bovyerb kindness; while the peorpie of this Province have especial cause remember his philanthropy in the matter of the P. E. I. Hospital.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (2)
As previously remarked the var- ious conipilers of the Chronicle were keen on the genealogies of their Kings. The scribe would sud- denly interject the royal pedigree into the midst of his narrative in this manner: AD. 755—"Bernred then succeeded to the Kingdom, which he held but a little while and unprosperously; for King Ofia the same year put him to flight and assumed the government: which he held nine and thirty win- ters. Ofia was the son of Thing-

A MONUMENT TO WATII
In Miticham. eighteen twenty-two, Records an old reporter. Inhabitants could buy their beer, But badly wanted water; Whengio! one day a spring gushed north ‘ All crystal clear and bubbles. So Mitcham raised a monument, Forgetting droughtly troubles.
“And still it stands. and you may read Lf you are in that quarter, Old Mltchams’ praise to Heaven above, For priceless gift of water. Let's emulate those Mitcham folk, Give thanks in gay bravura, For Christmas cheer and coming year, And toast in aqua pure." These lines appear on a monu- ment at wiichsm, Surrey; erected commemorate the finding o! water there in 1%, in a time of drought.
PREVENT TRAFFIC ACCIDENT!
We are having a campaign for
roads. The Prince Edward Isiaad
seventeenth in descent from Noah. Whether as hero or dami-god, he was certainly the one outstanding figure of his time. The royal line of every Saxon Kingdom traced its descent from Woden and thought markable man had four sons, so says the Chronicle, and in
course oi another generation their descendants ruled in Wessex, Mer- cia, Northumbria and Southumbria. 1t was Woden himself to whom Wednesday is dedicated.
When I purchased a copy of the Chronicle (just twelve years igo), I began to collect all the scraps of interjected pedigrees, and to iit them together. 1 soon found that the old scribes were not to be im- plicitly relied upon. Every little while a generation might be skip- ped and, more rarely, a new and unknown name might appear in the succession. However. by co.- latlng the different entries, one could arrive at a fairly satisfact- ory genealogy.
The translator of the Chronicle compares that work with the his- torical books of the Bible. They, too, have their genealogies, and a. cursory glance would seem to in-
ish historians sometimes included place-names which they took for names of individuals. Coming to the New Testament, I have never yet read any satisfactory explana- tion of the divergencles between the genealogies in the first chap- ter of St. yfiittheiv and the third chapter of St. Luke.

‘i The Woman's Christian Tem- _ perance Union are glad to add their lvoice to help promote public safely ‘ At the time ofhls recent visit to our Province Rev. Abner Lang- ley, Maritime secretary of the Tem- < perance Federation, showed that in Ontario 46 per cent of traffic ac- tcidents are caused by liquor. The same is true in other places. This ‘aspect of the temperance qies- tion will no doubt be again dealt ,with at the time oi the annual meeting of the Temperance Feder- ation in September next. l Alcohol militates against public safety. as it affects the driver of a car in the following ways:
(1) It slows down his reaction time-that is the time that elapscs from the moment the picture oi‘ a child in the path of his car is flashed to his brain. until hisioo: is applied to the brake.
(2) Alcohol shortens his range of vision. he cannot see so far a- head.
(3) Alcohol also shortens his range of vision sideways, that is,
the distance he can see on either side while still looking ahead. Itl puts blinders on him. l4) Alcohol gives him a false ‘sense of confidence, that causes ‘him to take dangerous chances. (5) In some cases, alcohol leads lie colour blindness. ' In last Saturday's column ap-l peared an item entitled; "Death on l the Roads", which is well worthy of repetition by way oi emphasis.' Tl rtfliis. in part_ as follows: l "In Britain alone fifteen people‘ are killed every day of the yeah, and in the United states and can- - ada several times that number meet violent deaths daily on streets and highways and it hardly causes so‘ much as a ripple upon the surface 0f Our lives except as we may be immediately affected by these ac- cidents. Any consideration of the causes oi accidents would immedi- ately involve the liquor interests, and the attempt to mix liquor and I gasoline. It would also mean that teeth. and strong teeth at that.» would require to be put in the laws oif states and countries, and the most drastic penalties enacted l against drivers the worse for driuk. l Sooner or later. it seems to us. the dire necessity oi self-preservation will drive the decent people of the world to demand adequate protec- tion."
